Does anyone think it would actually be great moving house to Aberdeen just to join the Aberdeenshire Rams? I imagine every televised match is just a heady cocktail of beers, Rams and predominately scottish indie anthems.
You can probably watch all the games on Ramsplayer too, what with it been foreign too.

Bottle of Old Peculiar for the match

Bottle of Old Peculiar for the match

I had a kirkland coconut milk stout today. Lovely stuff.

Cheers, seen that one before and thought it looked good. Might go for that if I don't get any beers for Father's Day!

I'm having some Clockwork Tangerine from Brewdog. 3 quid for a big bottle is decent. Tastes alright too.

The band of 20 year olds I saw in a pub in Burton last year , who said 'were going to play an old one but a good one   . This is one for the dads'.  The song was Wonderwall .

Went to see the Pasadena Roof Orchestra. The guy fronting the band and acting MC asked for requests. A few favourites were shouted out, to which he replied "Well, we don't do requests so we're playing this."
Made me smile anyway.

I saw a movie last night about beavers making homes in their natural habitat. 
It was the best dam movie I've ever seen.

Hope that everyone who is alone today or suffering that little bit more than usual due to the time of year is managing to get through OK.
I only joined up on here after reading for many years and convinced myself that it was because I wanted to contribute a bit more and had a lot of time on my hands. Whilst that is true if I’m honest it’s been the stories, support and camaraderie in this thread in particular that urged me to join up.
Struggling a fair bit myself at the moment but some of what I have read has given me some strength - I won’t go into too much detail but knowing your feelings are not just yours and that depression is very much a real thing does actually help.
Merry Christmas fellow Rams! 3 points tomorrow will certainly help!

I've had the real pleasure of meeting Arthur on several occasions. He is an absolute first rate Gentleman. He told me some fabulous anecdotes about the time he worked for Robert Maxwell but point blankly refused to be in any way indiscrete; {Maxwell used to pay Arthur bonuses in the form of dozens of pairs of gentleman's socks from Harrods!}. I think Derby County for once were privileged to have had Arthur as manager {the players all referred to him as the Sarjeant Major} and I feel privileged and honoured to have met him. He always give people his time and shows people total respect. A true living legend. Spoke about his Derby players as if they were his own sons and visibly shed a tear when we talked about Rob Hindmarch. A wonderful man and true Derby County hero. 

Found this today.

I play some older games too, just moved into Daley Thompson's Decathlon!

Far Cry games are all exactly the same. If you loved 3 and want more then get 4. The story in 4 is a little more coherent and the protagonist isn't quite so much of a jackass.
AC Constantinople is exactly the same as the Italian based games. Black Flag and Rogue break away from the normal AC formula by focusing on naval combat and exploration. AC 3 is a mix between the two.
Red Dead Redemption = Grand Theft Horse. The setting is interesting, the scenery is incredible, the music is outstanding, and the storyline is really good too. Get it.
I don't know much about the Batman games because comic book superheroes bore me to tears. I'd recommend Sleeping Dogs. Essentially it's a GTA clone, but it's a bloody good one. The main selling point is the beautifully realised Hong Kong setting and the fact that combat is focused on martial arts instead of gunplay.

Arkham City was ace, apart from the really daft flying training missions, hated those. Storyline is really well done. As with other games of a similar mechanics, it can get a bit repetitive, but there's enough gadgets to vary how to fight. The Riddler missions means there's plenty once the main game is over. I will say this though, it depends on how much you like stealthy games - can't really go in all guns blazing - but as you like AC you shouldn't have a problem.
 
 

Far Cry 4: If you loved 3 you should like this.
Assassin's Creed: Only get Black Flag if you loved all the ship nonsense from AC3. 
Read Dead: Buy it, buy it now. 
Arkham Asylum: Only really if you're a batman fan

We need a GTA london. Set over a changing history from swinging 60s, 70s punk, then Long Good Friday 80s. Maybe some Britpop, then modern day. Changing cityscape, tunes and locals. Our Friends in the North vibe.

I quite liked that gta style game set in london. Was it the getaway? A few flaws but was good picking out the bits you recognise.

Yeah. There was 2 of them.
Nearly really good games. Just let down by the pretty shocking car chases. Enemy cars are super strong, you got chased by gangs every 2 minutes and when you got out of your car to fight them then the police would show up to attack you. 
But the story, the driving without chases and the gunplay was fun.
